About

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)/psychotherapist who brings 20 years of therapeutic experience with individuals and families, including children and youth, to my counselling practice. After 2 decades, I know that families, and the individuals and relationships that comprise them, are unique, complex, and powerful structures in all of our lives.
 

My clients are parents and step-parents, minor children and adult children, grandparents, extended families, families of choice, and more. In other words, I work with individuals of all ages who are seeking to examine and work through experiences, challenges, (mis)understandings, and ways of being within their current or past journey with their family.  For you or your child, this might mean:

• developing a better understanding of yourself through identifying modelled patterns of behaviour and coping. 
• processing and healing past family trauma. 
• (re)developing healthy relationships and boundaries.
• working through conflict in one or more of your relationships.
• working through grief and loss. 
• working through thoughts and feelings about death and dying.
• re-imagining a new future for yourself, your child(ren), and/or your family, and developing a plan to get there.
   

To support and walk along side you on your journey of growth, I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors. I have a Master's degree in Counselling Psychology from the University of British Columbia, a Bachelor's degree in Child and Youth Care from the University of Victoria, and a Certificate in Pedagogical Work in a European Perspective from Pædagoguddannelsen Frøbel – UCC (Denmark). 

 
I believe that free expression, openness, and honesty with self are central components to a helpful and successful therapeutic journey. With that in mind, I consciously aim to curate a therapeutic environment and relationship with my clients based in trust, confidentiality, and connection.
